“…The studies in the existing literature support this finding (18,23). While Bowlby (1) states that the nature of relationship established with mother in the childhood (primary attachment object) have an effect on a person's quality of life today, Veneziano and Rohner (14) reported that paternal love, sometimes independent from the influence of mother, has a great influence on the child's development and it can predict distinctive results on the child's personality. Similarly, Lamb (40) also argues that despite the differentiation of role of father among the cultures, fathers have an important role on child development.…”

“…Related studies have shown that the rejection has negative detrimental effect on psychological adjustment (13)(14)(15). Rohner and Britner (16) have also suggested significant relationship between general psychological adjustment and parental acceptance/rejection in their studies of reviewing related researches of parental acceptance/rejection around the world.…”

Investigation of relationship between parental acceptance and psychological adjustment among university students Objective: In this study, it is aimed to test the relations between parental acceptance/rejection and psychological adjustment variables by using structural equation modeling. Another aim of the study is to investigate the study variables in terms of gender. Method: The sample of the study is formed by 271 females, 135 males out of 406 students aged in 19-36 who are studying at Ankara University. Demographic Information Form, Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ), and Personality Assessment Questionnaire (PAQ) have been conducted to the participants in this study. Results: When the perceived acceptance/rejection from the mother was examined, it was seen that males perceived their mothers more rejective than females in terms of sub-scales of warmth/affection, hostility/aggression, indifference and total maternal acceptance/rejection. When the perceived acceptance/rejection from the father was examined in terms of sub-scales, in all sub-scales (warmth/ affection, hostility/aggression, indifference/neglect and undifferentiated rejection) and in total scores males perceived their fathers more rejective than females. In terms of sub-scales of psychological adjustment; in sub-scale of hostility, negative self-esteem, negative self-adequacy and emotional unresponsiveness males scored higher; but in the sub-scale of dependence females scored higher. In the analysis, it was found that the suggested hypothetical model is valid. In the structural model, the latent variables of parental acceptance/rejection predict the psychological adjustment latent variable. Conclusion: In conclusion, the findings have proven that parental acceptance/rejection predicts the psychological adjustment consistent with the theory of Parental Acceptance/Rejection (PARTheory) and the studies in literature. The results of the study have been discussed within the context of PARTheory and the studies in the literature.

“…It would also be interesting to include a measure of the quality of father involvement and the child's perceived closeness to the father in future research on the long-term impact of fathers on children's development. Research has suggested that children's perceptions of closeness positively influence their socioemotional development (Veneziano & Rohner, 1998). Finally, there are also complexities associated with the construct of father involvement that are better assessed with measures of the qualities of the fathers themselves.…”

Little is known about the extent, nature, and impact of fathers of children with adolescent mothers. The current study measured father involvement with 134 children of adolescent mothers over the first 10 years of life. Overall, 59% had consistent father contact across the first 8 years. This contact was associated with better socioemotional and academic functioning at 8 and 10 years of age, particularly in school related areas. Children with greater levels of father contact had fewer behavioral problems and had higher scores on reading achievement; these results held after controlling for maternal risk. The findings showed the important role that fathers play in the lives of at-risk children, even if the father does not reside with the child.

“…Thus, these parents are busy with their jobs, having limited time to participate and involve themselves in home learning activities and have less opportunity to teach and guide their children in their school works as well as building the children's self-concept and teaching them morals and values. Specifically, parental involvement has been one of the most significant indicators of school effectiveness (Clemons, 2005;Johari, 2009;Morrison, 2009;Rosenblatt & Peled, 2002) and psychological adjustment in children (Veneziano & Rohner, 1998). A study done by Gibson & Jefferson (2006) also revealed that parental involvement has an influence on children self-concept.…”

The main purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between self-concept, intrinsic motivation and self-determination with academic achievement among the respondents. The sample of the study was 200 students in standard 5 and standard 6 from a Chinese primary school in Johor, Malaysia. Data was collected using a self-developed set of questionnaire. The reliability of the instrument was tested using Cronbach's Alpha and the result was 0.941. The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 17.0. Pearson correlation at the significant level of 0.05 was used in order to determine the relationships among the measured variables. Research finding shows that correlations between independent variables (self-concept, intrinsic motivation and self-determination of the respondents) and dependent variable (academic achievement) were all significantly low. Analysis of previous research discovers several salient factors in relation to the current research findings.
